Perhaps the world would function a little better
if thoughtless littering—like a discarded cigarette butt—didn't go unpunished. Around 80% of the 4.5 trillion cigarette butts produced annually reportedly end up in the environment. The cigarette filter is made of cellulose acetate plastic, which takes up to 15 years to decompose and releases microplastics. A single cigarette butt can contaminate between 40 and 1,000 liters of groundwater with pollutants such as nicotine, arsenic, and heavy metals to such an extent that it becomes toxic to aquatic organisms.
A simple law, a small price* (for example, €10, 17,000 Satoshis, 5.5 million Gwei, or 4g silver *22.03.2026)—
and suddenly responsibility would carry weight.
Because even the smallest action shapes the whole. Let's go :)
